    Ok I'll put another one in for you.

    Full block colours, DF1 any mugs, if I use my ricoh printer.

    I will have idle temperature 100 degrees, temp 170 (avoids blacks going brown), time 200 secs. Perfect every time.

    Make sure the press is down to 100 degrees before putting a new mug in (I have gash mugs sitting around that I pop in to drop temperature). Pressure is 2 fingers to close press, balnket just wraps around the edge of the mug.

    The low temperature allows the heat to sink into the base as it climbs.

    Last lot of mugs I had were the European 10oz from BMS, I was printing area 195mm X 88mm (my usual printable area) Photgraph covered whole area temp 180 - time 180 - idle 170. All mugs printed fine. I'm using a Genie press which looks very similar to the BMS one - settings are as advised by Listawood for their mugs admittedly but seems to work equally ok for other brands of mug.
    Mugs do seem to vary from batch to batch. first lot I had were perfect, full bleed prints top and bottom were no problem, next 2 boxes not so good. Putting a straight edge on the mug you could see the taper, so I changed brand and these were ok, I just hope the next lot I get are ok
